    Ah damn, that's funny. For some reason I didn't picture you being the same age as me with all of the toys you have.

    How was the car imported? And since it's an '88 (im guessing) does it mean it was fairly straightforward?

      Also BTW ... keep the euro cluster. They're pretty cool and definitely a convo starter. My m42 four door has it, along with everything else that is euro spec'd.

      Definitely adds character, and you memorize your mph conversions pretty easily after a week or so.

      Also, if you have a 13 button OBC (i converted mine) you can leave it in mp/h, so whenever you're having doubts, hit the reset button on the avg mph function, and you'll get a precise mph reading to the decimal

        The car has an analog clock in it. As far as importing, it was already here in the states when i bought it (had an ny title). No idea how importing works.

        I can gauge my speed by sight, but i dont know man. Im not just not a fan of it.

            Update:
            The more I drive this car, the more I love it. The engine feels "awakened" so to speak.

                  Just look at what a little love can do for a car. I remember seeing this touring outside of levent's shop with no drivetrain and a little rust. No one wanted it. Some one shows it a little love and its a hit. This touring always had potential. Luckily it went to the right owner.

                          Subscribed. Just great. Any chance of some driving footage? And I'm with you - if you're running an s14, you definitely have a legitimate reason to swap in an m3 cluster.

                            Nothing of this car, nor anything recent. :(

                            Took a season off to finish my s13 and to keep $ available for this car.

                              hope this helps.

                                Went to the euro house last weekend to hangout with my water polo friends before they graduate. They were having a party, and their cars were looking sweet in the sunset.







                                I have since my last update put on KAMOTORS' standard size flaps. keeps my paint free of road grime. I also did a Hella H4/H1 retrofit. Fckers are brighter than hell, its like i'm driving with the sun out infront of me.








                                This week I attended the Bimmers and Coffee meet out here in white plains. Due to a large crowd and a ton of idiots, we ended up getting shut down twice and relocating to yonkers for the evening. Cops had me delete most of my pictures. I'll take some after i rinse my car off, I had it polished and sealed. Looks killer!
